Cochlea & Eustachia Chapter 2, Page 30

Hans Rickheit's Cochlea & Eustachia was inspired by dreams. The more I read the series, the more that fully comes through. To be honest, it is one of the most unique comics that I have ever seen. Hans always include some great detail to go with the beautiful lines. He is very effective at visual storytelling.

This page reinforces that idea as we see a hatch open to a glass box with these winged creatures sleeping down below. The box itself has a control panel and a pair of arms with claspers on the exterior. This immediately reminded me of a reverse 'win a stuffed animal' claw game that you would find at the arcade, and that is wild. Cochlea or Eustachia, it can be tough to tell who's who, is now moments away from winning a lovely prize.
